The world's highest fountain of water is located, appropriately enough, in Fountain Hills, Arizona. The fountain rises to a heig

ht of 560 ft. (a) What is the initial speed of the water? (b) How long does it take for the water to reach the top of the fountain?

A. The relationship between the height and initial velocity is given in the equation,
                          d = ((Vi)² - (Vf)²) / 2g
Vf for this case is zero and g is equal to 32.2 ft/s². Substituting,
                            560 ft = (Vi)² / (2)(32.2)
The value of Vi is equal to 189.91 ft/s.
b. For the time, the equation is,
                            d = 0.5gt²
Substituting,
                           560 ft = 0.5(32.2)(t²)
The value of t is 5.90 s.

(a) The initial speed of the water is 190 ft/s

(b) It takes 5.90 s for the water to reach the top of the fountain

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

h = 560 ft

g = 32.2 ft/s²

<u>Unknown:</u>

u = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

At the maximum height, the speed is 0 ft/s

<h2>Question a:</h2>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0^2 = u^2 - 2 \times 32.2 \times 560

u^2 = 36064

u = \sqrt{36064}

\large {\boxed {u \approx 190 ~ ft/s} }

<h2>Question b:</h2>

v = u - gt

0 = \sqrt{36064} - 32.2t

t = \sqrt{36064} \div 32.2

\large {\boxed {t \approx 5.90 ~ s} }

93 cm3 liquid has a mass of 77 g. When calculating its density what is the appropriate number of significant figures
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

828 kg/m³ or 0.828 g/cm³

Explanation:

Applying,

D = m/V............. Equation 1

Where D = density of the liquid, m = mass of the liquid, V = volume of the liquid.

From the question,

Given: m = 77 g , V = 93 cm³

Substitute these values into equation 1

D = 77/93

D = 0.828 g/cm³

Converting to kg/m³

D = 828 kg/m³

What two quantities do you have to know to calculate the density of and object?
charle [14.2K]
'Density' is defined as (mass) / (volume). You need enough information to be able to measure or calculate the mass and the volume of the object.
